Bagsværd Church

Jørn Utzon – Bagsværd Community Church, Bagsværd, Copenhagen, Denmark, 1974-1976

Bagsværd Church is a Lutheran church in Bagsværd on the northern outskirts of Copenhagen, Denmark. Designed in 1968 by Jørn Utzon, it was completed in 1976. The building is considered to be a masterpiece of contemporary church architecture, especially its bright, naturally illuminated interior and its ceiling straddled with softly rounded vaulting.

Located on a narrow plot in a suburban setting, the building itself is narrow, and has an austere façade which encloses the various rooms and a number of small courtyards. Surrounded by birch trees, the exterior walls are faced with white prefabricated concrete panels and white glazed tiles. The aluminum roof gives the church a rather industrial look. Glass sections provide lighting over the connecting corridors. Covering an area of ​​1,700 square meters, the tight geometrical plan consists of three sections and a courtyard between two parallel corridors.
